> I'm still on 60 mg. I see my pdoc in early March. I've tried to go to 45 mg on my own, and the excessive sleeping comes back. I'm thinking I might need a type of stimulant to help me get through tapering, but given my experience at 75 mg, any kind of stim makes me nervous.

Hi gg,
I didn't realize that Nardil was that hard to taper off of. Hopefully your doctor will know the best way for you to handle this.I'm still kind of in limbo. I'm on 25 mg. doxepin for anxiety at this point. I need to get some serotonergic assistance though as I'm still very anxious and depressed. The doxepin prevents panic attacks but there's still a lot of underlying anxiety. As I mentioned above, I tried to go back on Effexor which made the agitation much worse. My doctor gave me some Zoloft samples so the next step is to see if I can tolerate that.
Thanks for asking. Keep us posted on what you and your doctor decide to do in March.
